756. The Grand Canyon Brewing Co. – Winter Bourbon Barrel Bomber
I received this beer from the brewery last year and saw that it had a “flavor bomb” on the inside. Therefore, I decided to wait a while and let the flavor soak into it a little bit – especially since it was a bourbon barrel flavor. I finally opened it tonight after watching the local team (Illinois State University) lose in the national championship today. I’m working on work stuff tonight but thought...
244. St. Louis Brewery / Schlafly – Holiday Ale
As I mentioned, we’re in St. Louis, visiting my parents for the holidays, and I brought a few beers with me. I bought this one a couple weeks back on another visit here, but after reading the last line on the label, I just knew I had to bring it back for this visit.

160. Founders Brewing – Black Biscuit Draft
My wife and I went to St. Louis for the weekend and went out with a friend and his wife. A fellow homebrewer and beer lover, my friend suggested we try the International Tap House (iTap) in Soulard. They’ve got a ton of great beers on tap, so we thought it would be a good place to try a few new ones. We saw that the Founders Black Biscuit was on the menu scheduled to be tapped today. Sure enough, it had just been tapped, and...
138. Rogue Ales – 21 Olde Ale Draft
The Friday session of the Oregon Brewers Festival was drawing to a close, and it was time for one more beer before they stopped serving for the night. When I stopped by the Rogue hospitality suite earlier in the evening, they guys there told me that their “21” was brewed special for the Oregon Brewers Festival, and named because it was 21st different beer they had brewed for the festival. The olde ale included...
